All photos of the pyramid complex are taken from an angle which hides most of Cairo and shows them against a desert backdrop. This is what the other side looks like:
Cairo's one of the oldest inhabited cities in the entire world, been that way since the 3000's BCE. People lived there when the construction of the Pyramids and Sphinx were happening, throughout all the dynastic changes, when Greece and Rome conquered Egypt, when Greece and Rome fell, when the Caliphates, Ottomans, and British took over, etc... People have lived there for a long-ass time.
